Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut each avocado in half lengthwise, remove pits, and scoop out 1/4 of the flesh to create a shallow well in each half.
- Step 2: Wrap each avocado half with 1 slice of bacon, securing with a toothpick if needed. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush with 1 tbsp olive oil.
- Step 3: Sprinkle minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper evenly over bacon-wrapped avocados. Bake for 20-22 minutes until bacon is crisp and edges of avocado begin to brown.
- Step 4: Squeeze 1 tbsp lemon juice over each avocado half just before serving.
